Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 26
व्यास उवाच । इत्युक्ता सा तदा क्षिप्रं तथेत्युक्ता च वै मुने । पूजयित्वा तु पितरं सा जगामोत्तरान्कुरून्
vyāsa uvāca | ityuktā sā tadā kṣipraṃ tathetyuktā ca vai mune | pūjayitvā tu pitaraṃ sā jagāmottarānkurūn
Vyāsa sprach: So angesprochen, erwiderte sie sogleich: »So sei es«, o Weiser. Nachdem sie ihren Vater verehrt hatte, begab sie sich zu den nördlichen Kurus.
